Assurance levels, defined once
Five levels. Each says exactly how much checking stood behind a credential — and who was allowed to do the checking. This page is the definition; every badge links here.
- A0No markSelf-attested completion; nobody checked.issued by: Any tenant
- A1Assessed on miatzScored against a stored rubric, tamper-evident, signed, machine-verifiable.issued by: Any tenant, automatic
- A2Kanan ProctoredIdentity bound, session attested, anomalies logged and reviewable.issued by: Tenants with a Kanan-certified proctor on record
- A3T'aan DefendedRecorded oral examination on the candidate's own decisions, scored on reasoning.issued by: Tenants on the assessment tier
- A4Itz'atDSAT-gated, real work, proctored AND defended.issued by: miatz only — never licensed
The vocabulary is closed — nobody may add a level or reword one. Definitions
You can climb to A3 by buying more assurance. Nobody can buy A4. The Itz'at Available certifies admission to our school — DSAT-gated, real work, proctored and defended — and is never licensed to a tenant. That single rule is what stops the ladder becoming a price list, and it is enforced in the database, not in a policy document.
Levels appear on credentials verbatim — A2 sittings carry Kanan proctoring Beta, A3 adds the T'aan oral defence. A credential shows its level, how it was reached, and links back to this page. If wording anywhere on a Miatz surface disagrees with this page, this page wins.
